Today I want to show you some very nice blue creations from Natacha. She used the Polka dot pieces set to stamp the bird and leaves in a nice blue colour. She used it on a card and on a special scrap. In both cases she used different DSP and on the scrap she also used the six-sided sampler set. She has a totally different style as mine and I love what she makes. The flowers are from an other brand.

This time I made something for doglovers. The stamp set Hot diggity dog is very suitable for this. As Christmas and New Year is coming soon I made such type of cards. I chose the colours cherry cobbler and chocolate chips. I first stamped the text, then I used the mask and a dauber to sponge the stars and then I stamped the bones. The body of the dog was coloured with markers and cut out with a star die. The head I did on a separate piece of paper and cut by hand and then put onto the paper with a dimensional. I love it, and you?

This time a flower parade, cards made by Corrie with the petite petals. Each card is unique. She used subtle blue shades for a wreath, a nice pink for a rather swirly card and a mixed colour one with brighter colours. Each card has a different style and the colours fit very well with that style.

Getting a card and box with the same theme is fun. So I used the Pictogram punches set in combination with the mask Hearts & Stars. I sponged the stars with the daubers onto the paper and I punched out a little star in a brighter pink to get the dimension on the card. I used nice pink colours but for the moon of course hello honey.

Today I present you some Christmas labels which I made with the scalloped tag topper punch in combination with the stampset Bright and Beautiful. This is a very nice stamp set with coordinating dies. On each label I put a 3D star to get some extra dimension. And the colours I used are smoky slate en lost lagoon.

This time I cased a card I received recently through a swap from a nice lady in France. I loved the way she made the card and the colours and although I did not have all the ingredients I made it. I put some cotton around a clear block and made the subtile stripes. I also added a dutch sentiment as I love that more once and awhile and I also added a nice inside in the card. I used the stamp set Four feathers and the colours sahara sand, crumb cake and coastal cabana.

Christmas is coming nearer and once and awhile I am working on Christmas cards, wrappings and also ornaments. This time I made an ornament with the Bright & Beautiful set which I stamped in Cherry Cobbler. I used three different stars and putting a few together gives the dimensional idea.

Today Matty shows us how she transformed two packaging materials from SU. She made little Christmas gifts out of it. For the tag a bag box she used design paper and a text from the Good Greetings stamp set. The Petite cafe gift bag got a label too with a Dutch sentiment and of course the very nice wondrous wreath.

Cards and boxes you have seen a lot lately, but why not think further and make a decorative flower for on a package? I played with tissue paper, the floral frames dies and the Daydream Medallions stampset to create this flower. I folded the tissue paper so I could cut out 12 pieces in one time. Then I stamped with cherry cobbler, put a brad in the middle and started to crumble everything so I got this nice big flower I now can use on a gift.

The owl punch is well know but do you also know you can make more out of it as only owls? Really you can. Matty shows us what she made: a couple of monsters, a ghost, a pinguin, a pig, a mouse, a cow, a rhino, a horse, a vis, a frog, a bunny, a few chicken and of course also a few tulips. We will do workshop with this punch. So if you are interested, just let us know.

Today a very nice lovely little girl with the name Joy turns two. As we think of joy and happiness and also of Christmas when we hear the word Joy, I used the Snowflake thinlit to cut the word Joy from silver cardstock. With the letterpress winter set I stamped the nice curly background and embossed it with silver powder. I am curious if this card finds the way to the heart of her parents an herself.

Yesterday you all saw the box with the cat, today I present you a card with the same stamping set. This time I used the Thinlit circle dies to give the card a special form. With a nice embossing folder I added some texture and of course I added some rhinestones for the bling bling effect.

Recently I made a few boxes with the gift punch board. Most of them with cardstock and some DSP or only DSP, but one of them I added a cat from the cute set You little Furball. I am sure I will use it more in the future.

Today Matty shows us a very nice box. The basis is of course from Stampin'Up! and is a Kraft stock box where she put some flowers on in the same colour and on top a few flowers she coloured with the blender pen. She used the flowershop set and even made a butterfly with it. It is a very nice box. Any body would love to receive this.

You all know I adore nice Dutch textes, so I could not resist in using this on two cards, although it is not from Stampin'Up! I made two triple cards in two totally different colours so you can use them for a birthday and take the one in the colour the receiver loves the most. The text says "Take care that every hour of your life is beautiful", a text which is so true and which we all should keep in mind.

Sometimes we need children cards, the Zoo babies set is very suitable for this. You can make cheerful cards with it in different colours. I chose to work with only a few colours which I switched on either card. In that way you have two different ones which are in some way also similar. The animals I punched out with a round punch and put on the Label with a dimensional. With the embossing folder decorative dots I created the background and a piece of ribbon behind the label finishes the card.

We still stay in the Christmas atmosphere. Today I want to show you that the wondrous wreath set is not only suitable for cards but also for making nice decoration for your Christmas table. I stamped the wreath three times and put slits in it to put it around the candle. A piece of ribbon on it and you have a special Christmas decoration on your table.

Thinking of Christmas, is putting up a wreath. So I used the nice set again and put it on a special card. For the border I used the Envelop punch board which is not only for creating envelops but also for nice borders. With a piece of cherry cobbler ribbon I created the feeling of the wreath hanging.

A small gift for you made with the newest punch board, the gift punch board which is slightly different from the Envelop punch board. It has the possibility to use bigger paper and it not only rounds the corners but also puts slits in it so it can be closed easily.
